he lives. While the society of which he
is only single member is self sustaining

not know about the world of good it

hearty laugh and look into the whole

A talented author once said that "a
cheerful disposition was more essential

less talent and more geniality.
The man who entertains you for an

his headaches, his losses and crosses, and
ends with an excruciating report from

sullen, grumbling misanthrope.

SrocK REPoRTs. The early spring,
and consequent shipment of range
cattle, much earlier than usual, caused
a decline on good corn cattle, some
two to three weeks sooner than last
year. Heavy shipments of grass cat
tie usually commence about first or
second week in June when the first
great break occurs in the market.
This year the heaviest decline occur
red during the third week in May and
both native and range cattle were bad
ly affected by it. The market has
somewhat recovered since, but there
can be no material advance, as the
outlook is good for heavy receipts all
through the season. At present we
would quote common Indian cattle az
$3.50 per hundred and good to choice
from $500 to $3.50 per hundred. Our
advice to shippers is not to hold cat
tie, but ship early as we look for still
lower prices as the season advances.
When cattle are ripe or even in fair
marketable condition, it pays the own
er better to take advantage of the
earlier markets than to hold for more
flesh. TURPIN, Foss & Go.

article on the railway problem is
published in the June Harper's
entitled american Railroad Leg

sor A. T. Hadley, of Yale College.
The paper summarizes the leading
steps in State legislation, pointing
out the principles and the opera
tions Of each, and concludes with
an estimate of the Interstate Com
merce Law passed by the last Con-
gress. This act he regards as a
decided advance in the adjustment
Of railroads difficulties, though
carrying some Objectionable fea-

experiment.

Climate of the Great West.


What has wrought the change IN thG
climate Of eastern Colorado and western
Kansas? That question cannot be accu
rately answered. The winds blow frozT
the same direction they formerly did, but
they are not sirOcco Ike. The rain storms
come from the west generally, and in the
past the west wind was dry wind. In my
opinion the change is due to the extensive
irrigation of the land lying along the east
ern base of the Rocky mountains. GreA
rivers, which head III tbs perpetual snow
banks Of those mighty ranges, have beer
turned into irrigation bitches, and the
water which formerly ran wastefully tt
the Gulf Of Mexico has been turned on &c
the arid plains. There it sOakS into the
soil. The wind sweeping over the Iano
sucks up q large portion OF 1t. There Is
moisture in the air, and it is precipitated
as rain on the plains OF eastern Colorado
and western Kansas. So extensively Is
irrigation practiced IL Colorado that almost
all the water was taken out Of the South
Platte river last year Fifty miles east

The day when the Arkansas river VIII De
turned on to the plains, every inch OF II, Is
plainly in sight.
The system Of irri"a+:o-l which has beer
applied to the land lying alonl5 the eastern
base of the Rocky mountains is now being
applied to the western slope and to the
arid basin LYING between the Rocky noun
tains and the Sierra Nevada range. In a
